Chapter 1516: 1516 poisonous rice 1

"Although no one in the world wishes more for you and Xiao Yuchuan to part ways than I do, I still don’t want you to be sad," Chang Haotian sighed, finally leaving the yard.

Maid Yinzhu brought over some cakes and, seeing Su Qingyue standing alone under a tree in the yard in a daze, she placed the tray with cakes on the stone table and gently called out, "Young Lady, the rabbit Master Chang wanted is cooked and has been sent to the Elegant Garden. Where is the Estate Owner?"

"He’s gone to the Elegant Garden to eat rabbit meat."

"Oh." Yinzhu asked with concern, "What’s wrong with you?"

Su Qingyue turned to look at her, "Zhu’er, Xiao Yuchuan will no longer be a part of my life, will you follow me, or him?"

"What are you saying, Young Lady? If you hadn’t treated my skin color that was more terrifying than a ghost’s, I’d still be hiding and unable to see anyone. You are my re-creator, my benefactor, I swore long ago to follow you my entire life."

A relieved smile appeared on Su Qingyue’s lips.

"Young Lady, are you having a quarrel with the son-in-law?" Yinzhu thought a moment, "I think, even if you don’t want to stay with the son-in-law, he’d never give up on you easily."

"I have chosen a path... from which there is no return."

Yinzhu didn’t seem to mind, "Young Lady, I believe no matter what you do, the son-in-law won’t hold it against you. You want to let go, but he is unwilling; it will not be easy." In her view, the son-in-law and Young Lady, that is to say, they quarrel at the bedhead but reconcile at the bed end.

"I told him, I have a thing with Chang Haotian," Qingyue’s voice was faint and traceless, only she knew just how much anguish lay beneath that calm surface.

Yinzhu’s eyes widened, "Young Lady, how could you say such a thing! In case the son-in-law takes it seriously, then everything between you two would really be over!"

Her voice was soft and distant, "I can see that Xiao Yuchuan feels inferior because his abilities are not as good as mine, so, he wants his birthright, to acknowledge his parents. And his parents cannot tolerate me; they have already harbored killing intent."

"The Xiao couple made their move?" Yinzhu was shocked, "Young Lady, are you injured?"

Su Qingyue walked over to a man-made bonsai in the courtyard and started trimming the excess branches and leaves with a pair of scissors, "I always liked to trim branches, not knowing that the plant had long been quietly watered with a kind of medicine. If the plant’s roots absorb the medicine, it emits a faint fragrance, which, if inhaled by a woman too much, can cause sterility."

Yinzhu was startled and in her panic, with a "clang," knocked over the plant, "Young Lady, stay away from this poisoned plant!"

Su Qingyue gave a wry smile, "The Xiao couple really have a venomous heart, wanting to make me sterile, but they are still too naive. I mixed a bottle of medicine to pour in and neutralize it; it won’t cause any issues."

"Phew..." Yinzhu exhaled lightly, "Thank goodness nothing happened. For a woman, being unable to become a mother is an agony beyond measure, akin to a calamity of epic proportions."

"It’s not just that," Su Qingyue continued, "Four days ago at noon, my meal was poisoned."

Yinzhu’s face turned pale with fear, "Young Lady, you didn’t eat the poisoned meal, did you?" She racked her brain, then suddenly exclaimed with alarm, "Young Lady, I remember you ate lunch that day! Are you alright?"

Anxiously, she looked Su Qingyue up and down, her eyes reddening with panic, "You spoke of choosing an irreversible path; it couldn’t be that you ate toxic food, became despondent, and sought death, right? No, don’t do it! If you die, what am I to do? Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a jinx I am. How could you possibly die?"
